got a visit from the FBI last year for one of his cartoons. It was aparody of the famous close-up photo of a Vietnamese general shooting a VC POW in the head. The cartoonist replaced the general with a thuggish character labeled "Politics," and had him shooting * in the head. The idea was that political attacks against * were an attempt to "murder" him, and that they were as unjust and vicious as the summary execution of a POW by a Vietnamese general. Nevertheless, the FBI investigated the cartoon.
BTW, I just edited this message to remove *'s name and two words beginning with "d" and "t," just in case some overeager FBI agent is running Google searches for those two words in the same posting with the chimp's name or title, or to locate his name in the same message with words like "shooting" or "murder." I sure don't want an FBI visit!
It's amazing, but I am not joking. I actually just self-censored harmless descriptive words for fear of government harassment.
Chilling, isn't it?
